The current date was April 20th.
More specifically, it was morning—the time when students were on their way to school.
Therefore, groups of three to five students could be seen walking toward school together.
Especially high school girls—at this time of day, they were quite a pleasant sight.
High schoolers were about the age when they had mostly finished growing.
Female high school students in JK uniforms, with their fluttering skirts revealing legs, were quite attractive. Adding knee-high socks made them even more alluring.
"Pfft—"
Kurz suddenly spat out his breakfast drink. Because a heavy tank had suddenly entered his field of vision and was even giving him a shy smile.
Hey, why was she walking toward him too?
Kurz unhesitatingly got in his car and drove away, almost flooring the accelerator.
He was driving a truck that had delivered some items to the target school before dawn, placing things in the school's infirmary.
Meanwhile, less than fifty meters from the main gate of Jindai High School, a blue-haired girl was chatting and laughing with several other girls nearby.
Suddenly—
"Wah!"
Chidori Kaname cried out and fell, then felt a sharp pain.
"Kaname, are you okay?"
"You're injured!"
The cause was a woman who had accidentally bumped into her, causing her to fall. She could see a small scrape on her lower leg, seemingly cut by sharp sand on the ground.
"I'm really sorry! I'll take you to the hospital immediately!"
The short-haired woman who had accidentally knocked her down apologized frantically.
"It's not necessary, I'm fine. It's just a small wound—no need to worry about it. It'll be better in half a day."
"No, if..."
After much persuasion, the short-haired woman finally stopped insisting.
"Kaname, you should still go to the infirmary to treat the wound."
"Okay."
With her friend Tokiwa Kyoko's renewed persuasion, Chidori Kaname, who originally thought it wasn't a big problem, decided to treat it.
Mainly because that woman had exaggerated so much, saying that a small wound, if accidentally infected, could cause problems.
She had said very scary things—possibly requiring amputation, or causing large areas of flesh to become necrotic, making the leg very ugly.
Such excessive worrying had frightened Chidori Kaname into deciding to go to the infirmary to apply some medicine.
When she arrived at the infirmary—
"Um..."
Chidori Kaname, who was about to call out the name of the school nurse inside, was stunned. Before her was an unfamiliar teacher—someone else entirely, a young-looking man.
He wore glasses and a white coat, looking very refined, indeed giving off a doctor's impression.
Had they changed school nurses?
Huh?
There was another person too—a girl who looked about her age.
She had rare silver hair, snow-white skin, and such delicate features—so beautiful. This person must be a foreigner.
A transfer student?
Looking at her attire, that wasn't it, because she wore nurse-like clothing, seeming like the school nurse's assistant.
How strange—the school had quietly changed the school nurse to this good-looking young doctor and beautiful girl assistant.
"I'm the new school nurse, Ejie. This is Miss Tairosa."
The young school nurse introduced them.
"Hello—"
Chidori Kaname immediately responded politely to this nurse.
"Are you injured? Come here—I'll help treat it."
"Ah? No need to trouble Miss Tairosa too much. Just give me some iodine and I'll apply it myself."
"That won't do. It needs proper treatment, otherwise..."
Great, this Miss Tairosa was also like that short-haired woman who had knocked her down—so worried about everything.
"Come, Chidori-san, please lie down here."
"Ah?"
Chidori Kaname looked somewhat stunned at a large piece of equipment in the infirmary that seemed like CT scanning equipment from a hospital.
Wait, for just a small wound, was it necessary to make such a big deal with CT scanning?
Speaking of which, wasn't it a bit too advanced for a school infirmary to have this equipment?
"By the way, please remove any metal objects you're wearing."
"Um, that's not necessary..."
"It is necessary. You seem fine after being knocked down, but do you know? This impact might have actually damaged your tailbone. If there's a problem there that compresses nerves, you might be paralyzed in bed for life, with frequent incontinence."
The school nurse named Ejie said this seriously, even opening some examples on a nearby computer, which intimidated Chidori Kaname.
"I, I understand."
She would cooperate obediently.
Although she felt it was a bit suspicious, this was a school, not some private clinic.
In such a place, they wouldn't do anything bad.
Chidori Kaname removed some items from her body and lay down. The CT-like equipment began operating.
About five minutes later—
"All done, Chidori-san—"
"Okay."
The nurse named Tairosa helped her sit up. Because this thing was somewhat narrow—just right for lying down—it was hard to find support to push herself up when getting up.
"Mm, you look very healthy, no problems."
After the school nurse said this, he handed her something.
"What's this?"
She was somewhat confused. It wasn't the usual external wound medicine she'd seen—inside was white flowing liquid that seemed quite viscous.
"This is internal medicine. Drink it and you'll get better quickly."
This made Chidori Kaname somewhat suspicious—weren't they conducting some experiment? Using students for experiments?
"Chidori-san, you don't think we're using you for some experiment, do you?"
She saw him take out another vial, then open both and drink half of each.
Seeing this behavior, Chidori Kaname was stunned, then understood.
If he had drunk one complete vial alone, she would probably still suspect the two vials were actually different.
"No need. I'll just take the usual external wound medicine."
The result was that he did give her the medicine she wanted, but also gave her the oral type.
He said if she encountered more serious injuries, this could be useful.
And it wasn't large, easy to carry.
Chidori Kaname didn't refuse further and took it before leaving.
"As expected, this was too obvious and deliberate. Chidori-san probably also suspects Melissa knocked her down on purpose, just to get her to the infirmary."
Tessa said with slight headache.
The equipment placed in the infirmary was actually related to confirming whether someone was a Whispered.
Although Mr. Ejie had said Chidori-san was a Whispered, making this examination seem redundant, this wasn't purely an examination.
This equipment would gradually make Chidori-san's brain surface hidden black technology, making her aware she was unusual.
It would break her daily routine—somewhat cruel.
But since Chidori-san was a Whispered and was being targeted, it meant she really couldn't have a normal daily life.
Rather than possibly being carelessly captured by enemies later, when enemies would make her black technology surface—and they wouldn't be so gentle, causing her great pain.
Better to have gentle guidance from their side, like childhood experiences forgotten when growing up. Now, through some trigger, slowly remembering, without harm to body and mind.
Moreover, once awakened, she would become smarter and able to respond more calmly to crises.
Looking at the scan data on the laptop—data only Tessa could understand—it was confirmed: Chidori Kaname was a Whispered.
"She's a Whispered?"
Ejie couldn't understand the data, but from Tessa's reaction, it seemed confirmed.
He had given Chidori Kaname panacea to improve her physical condition, so when encountering situations, she'd have better constitution than normal people to cope.
Tessa in front of him had also already used it.
"Yes."
Tessa nodded.
At the same time, the class bell rang, and normally no one would come to the infirmary.
So the free time would be when she received training.
